The game-day inactives were Sam Ehlinger, Jaleel McLaughlin, Que Robinson, Frank Crum, and Sai’vion Jones.
The only active offensive player who did not play was Jarrett Stidham.
We had one offensive lineman who didn’t take all of the snaps. That was Mike McGlinchey who missed two snaps and was replaced by Alex Palczweski. AP also played eight other snaps as the sixth offensive lineman. Bo Nix and the other four starting offensive linemen all played every offensive snap.
Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin,
Pat Bryant, Marvin Mims, and Trent Sherfield played 70, 44, 40, 27 and 16 snaps. Bryant set another career high after getting 27 snaps in game four, he got 40 in game five, jumping Marvin Mims as WR3 at least for this game. Despite the 40 snaps, Bryant was not targetted. Ten Broncos were targetted during the game.
The split for the snaps for our three RBs was 37, 19, 15, but RJ Harvey got the 15 and Tyler Badie got the 19. This a dramatic shift from the first four games. Badie had 10 total snaps in games three and four and he entered the game with 37 total offensive snaps on the season. I would assume that his pass blocking is better than Harvey’s so that is why he was on the field more than RJ. Adam Prentice only got four snaps at FB.
The TE snap distribution was pretty even at 31, 30 and 27 – Trautman, Engram and Adkins.
The defense had four players who played every snap: Talanoa Hufanga, Patrick Surtain II, Riley Moss, and Alex Singleton.
Brandon Jones came off the field for one snap on defense. Devon Key and JL Skinner both got four snaps on defense, which was a surprise since I would have expected KAD or PJ Locke to get those snaps, but maybe both players have improved recently.
Patrick Strnad played 47 of 61 snaps at the other ILB spot.
Zach Allen played 52 of 61 snaps (85%) which was a season high % for him. He did play more snaps in two other games where our defense was on the field for many more plays than 61.
At nickel CB, Ja’Quan McMillian 42 snaps. Jahdae Barron played only 10 snaps but made the most of them.
Other DL guys got 31, 25, 19 and 10 snaps: D.J. Jones, John Franklin-Myers, Eyioma Uwazurike, and Jordan Jackson. Jordan Jackson got his active spot this week after Jones was active last game. The Eagles ran 61 plays and our two DL guys played a total of 137 snaps, meaning that we had 15 plays were we used three DL guys on the field against the run-heavy Eagles, who only ran the ball 11 times.
Our OLB Nik Bonitto, Jonathon Cooper, Jonah Elliss and Dondrea Tillman 42, 46, 19 and 16 snaps. Elliss was also in on 90% of the special teams snaps along with Devon Key.
